UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE FOOD rnonuc'r AND METHOD FOR MAK- ING THE SAME John H. Fedeler, New York, N. Y. Application May 15, 1934, Serial No. 725,715 3 Claims. (Cl. 204-9) This application relates to a novel and imand which'may have a. part thereof made of copproved form of food product and also to a novel per, as shown diagrammatically at Ill. Other way of making that product. The invention will suitable metals may be used as found expedient, be best understood from the following description and. the electrode may be made of one metal or of 5 and the annexeddrawings, in which I have shown several, as desired. The opposite electrode is 5 one form of apparatus which may be employed 1 formed by the metal container l0, and preferably in making the novel food product according to the electrode I1 is rotated within the liquid in the my method, and in which: container. Certain liquids, such as milk, will ad- Fig. 1 is a side view of a portion of the aphere to an electrode unless constantly stirred, and paratus used in one step of the method, parts be- I have found that the means shown here is sufii- 10 ing shown in elevation and other parts being cient for the purpose of agitatin the milk enough broken away or shown in section; to prevent its adhering in substantial quantity to Fig. 2 is a view taken approximately on the the electrodes. V line 2-2 of Fig. 1; v I have shown a switch l8 which may be used for Fig. 3 is a view takenapproximately onthe controlling current passing to a motor I9 mount- 15 line 3-3 of Fig. 1; ed above a cap 20, this cap providing a cover for Fig. 4 is an elevation of part of the apparatus the container and having a hole therein through including that shown in Fig. 1 and showing the which the electrode l'l passes. Current may be use of that part in a continuous process; led to the motor through the switch by suitable Fig. 5 is a vertical view of'a drying chamber conductors showndiagrammatically as a. cable 2|, 20

taken pp x m tely on the line 5-5 of Fi 6; and from the switch a cable 22' may, lead to the Fig. 6 is a section taken approximately on the motor and other conductors 23 and 24 may lead to line of the respective electrodes. Since the electrode I! Fig. '7 is a section taken approximately on the will, be rotating when in operation, I provide a 25 line 1-1 of Fig. 5; brush holder 25 to which are secured brushes 26 5 Fig. 8 is a view on the same plane as Fig. 7- adapted to contact with the electrode and thus but on a larger scale and illustrating a part of form an electrical connection therewith.

the apparatus shown in that figure; The electrode I! may be secured to the motor Fig. 9 is a fragmentary view taken approxiby means of an insulator 21 having a pin 28 pass- 30 mately on the line 9-9 of Fig. 8. 'ing therethrough and also passing through the 30 It has been known for some time that certain shaft 30 of the motor, a second pin 29 securing foods which contain iron, copper, or other metals the insulator to the electrode. in digestible form create hemoglobin in the blood Not only may the electrode ll be composed of of human beings and other animals, andaccording different kinds of metal if desired, but, likewise,

to my invention it is possible to treat liquid food, the container III, which normally will be com- 35 as, for example, milk, in such a way as to impart posed of iron, may have metal disks or washers thereto the desired amount of metal. The inven- IM formed of other metals. The specific artion' is not limited to milk, as I have found that it rangement and construction of the various elecmay be practiced with other liquid foods, as, for trodes will depend to some extent upon the kind 40 example, wine, but for the sake of convenience, of current which is being used I have found, 40 I shall describe the invention as used with milk, for example, that when an electric current is because thatis one of the most valuable liquid passed through milk from an iron electrode, the foods known. metal of that electrode will be found to be present Referring first to Figs. 1, 2, and 3, I have shown in the milk. Where alternating current is used,

therein a container ID in the form of a cylinder milk may then be treated by adding metal thereto 45 made .of a suitable metal and provided with an from both electrodes, whereas with direct current inlet pipe II and an outlet pipe l2. The conmost of the metal would probably come from one tainer may be mounted upon a suitable base I3, electrode.

which in turn is supported on a holding frame 14 It will be seen that the apparatus which 1'. have having a holder l 5 extending upwardly therefrom described above will serve not only to add a suit- 50 and supported thereon by means ota shaft I6 exable metal or metals to the milk, but will also tending into a socket on the frame. agitate it so as to prevent adhering of the milk Disposed within and preferably centrally of the to the electrodes.

container I0 is an electrode H, which, for the sake In Fig. 4 I have shown an apparatus by which of illustration, 1 shall assume is made of iron the foregoing treatment may be carried on com I
